They have gone quiet, presumably baffled by someone asking logical questions.

We are now on hour three of this process.

Right, I think we’ve accepted the fact that I’ve already supplied this info, and are now stuck on the fact I have not yet got a contract in place with someone they are presumably supposed to contract/pay directly, and that they have also not yet agreed to pay… because they wanted to assess first.🤔

Someone else said that as well - I’ve had 30 years of seeing a parent go through absolute hell with them so I’m a cynic at the best of times, but very glad they are actually calling people back - should be the bare minimum!

😂 As long as Chlöe gets Finance Minister that’s enough business related activity for me

The WINZ saga continues: I have now received an email requesting three comprehensive pieces of information I have already provided or are already on file, combined with an ask to log in to a portal my elderly parent doesn’t have access to because: internet. I’ve asked for escalation - let’s see 🍿👀

My philosophy is it should be the same thing but yes, also why I will never be in charge of an airline or anything else 😂

Good that they do actually call back! I couldn’t be available past midday so I’m glad I finally got through 🎉🎉

50 minutes holding on literally and spiritually via a tour of four NZ artist songs on repeat… success! An email to send a form to! And then a two week wait (at least) for processing🫠 The lady I spoke to was lovely - this process was not. We need WINZ to be resourced and beneficiaries treated well./

20 minutes holding on the second call to WINZ. All due respect to Dave Dobbyn but his music was not meant to be listened to in this way.

Phenomenal business model 🫠

And… WINZ cut me off 🫠 Back to square one. Time starts… now.

Currently on hold with the WINZ Seniors line on behalf of a parent - wait time: 40+ mins. I in no way trust they’ll call me back, so am here for the duration. Great our Government thinks seniors (or anyone else) have the kind of time to wait almost an hour to speak to anyone about their benefit. 🙄🫠

Luxon says extra security measures needed for under-attack female MPs

One day we’ll have a conversation about the things we normalise politically, culturally, systemically that has the end result of women MPs being targeted - and women and girls worldwide. From gutting of pay equity to refusal to hold predators accountable in every single sphere - our choices add up👇

Florence Pugh has an eloquent, fierce post on Instagram re Cornell College - & a question very relevant to New Zealand’s judicial system: “Those that protect and lightly sentence men that rape and destroy, should be punished and watched closely. Why are you protecting someone that fiercely?” #nzpol

Florence Pugh (Instagram):

I'm no longer tired- I'm enraged by schools protecting boys, in fear of their futures being wrecked. What about the life that those girls then have to endure, with the knowledge that his reputation is more precious than her truth?
Or to feel that no one with the power to do something cares that you were abused. It's further soul-destroying.
Those that protect and lightly sentence men that rape and destroy, should be punished and watched closely. Why are you protecting someone that fiercely?

No all good, feel like I need an “Is this AI” check before posting anything these days (or really lock in where we are located on a map 😂)

I can’t read maps but did check we did in fact stay vs walk out - will delete 🙄

Feels like this should be a much bigger story than it is 🤔
